The architectural color of Jokhang Temple is rich, with gold, red and yellow ... echoing each other from afar, especially the golden Falun and deer above the gate, which are symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing that Buddhism is endless and everything has Buddha nature, and also commemorating the Buddha's first Falun in the Wild Deer Garden. A pair of meek deer knelt down to listen to Buddhism. In the strong sunshine of Lhasa, it is particularly dazzling.

Walking into Jokhang Temple, there is only a small clearing in the middle, and then there is a big water tank next to the aisle of the inner hall, which is full of coins and banknotes thrown by believers.

Because Jokhang Temple is dedicated to the 12-year-old golden statue of Sakyamuni brought by Princess Wencheng into Tibet, devout believers come to worship Buddha day after day and year after year.

There was a long queue in the narrow corridor leading to the inner hall. With many devout Tibetans and tourists slowly and orderly entering the inner hall, the butter lamps in the hall are smoky and full of flavor. Strictly speaking, it is more like a shrine dedicated to the Buddha. The space is dark and narrow, and there are many devout believers, which is very crowded. So I didn't look at every Buddha statue carefully. I just happened to bump into a tour guide and listened for a while.

Although the Jokhang Temple is not very large in scale, it has three floors, one is the main hall, the other is the place for tourists to rest and buy souvenirs, and the third is the rooftop, where you can clearly see the architectural style of Jokhang Temple and it is also a good location to shoot the Potala Palace. On the periphery of Jokhang Temple is the famous Bajiao Street, also called Balang Street, which is a good place to buy all kinds of handicrafts, but now fakes are also rampant. I wonder what avalokitesvara is thinking at this moment. ...

It can be said that society is all over the world, and life is varied.

I think for most people who stand in front of the gate of Jokhang Temple for the first time, looking at men, women and children, many devout believers prayed and bowed down repeatedly, and some even used this most respectful ceremony to worship Buddha from far away places for months. Even if they are not Buddhists, we will be moved and feel the shock brought by faith.

Equivalent to the solemn mystery of Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple gives me the feeling that it is more close to the people.

Visitors to Jokhang Temple do not need to register, review and make an appointment in advance, just buy tickets and enter in an orderly manner. Of course, since Jokhang Temple is also a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism, we should abide by the relevant rules.

When queuing to enter Jokhang Temple, we saw dozens of Buddhist believers kowtowing in the same place in front of the gate. Although we outsiders were very surprised to see them, they seemed to be there. Their piety, their selflessness, their ups and downs made me truly feel the mystery and power of religion.

I was deeply impressed by the magnificent dome of Jokhang Temple, the red grass mud wall, the black cow hair prayer flags and so on.

Seeing the whole Potala Palace from Jokhang Temple is another kind of mood.
